His team-mate Lewis Hamilton wasn't far behind, putting his Mercedes alongside his compatriot in second, with Lando Norris making it an all-British top three for the first time since the 1968 South African GP when Jim Clark took pole in his final race ahead of Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart.

Championship leader Max Verstappen could only manage fourth, with Oscar Piastri rounding out the top five in the second McLaren.

Further down the grid, Nico Hulkenberg in a resurgent Haas put in a stellar performance to grab sixth place, starting ahead of Carlos Sainz of Ferrari. The Scuderia's woes were compounded by Charles Leclerc's shock exit in Q2, leaving him with a mountain to climb.

Aston Martin also had a strong showing with both Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso securing eighth and tenth respectively. Splitting the Aston Martin duo is Alex Albon, continuing Williams' resurgence this season.
